Dense Archonite Node

Scholars of the Orrery have long held it is power contained within archonite—the mineralized, naturally occurring form of aether—keeping the individual Shattered Isles aloft.

Usually invisible energy fields surrounding pure concentrations of the mineral act with strong antigravitational force when near other islands, keeping them aloft but weakly connected. Arkan Drew believes the theory neatly explains how spiral formations like the Ram have developed over time.
